My favorite estate sale was the fourth and last one we visited. In addition to the lovely pictured items below, I got a wonderful pair of Wiss pinking shears for $2 and lots more bias tape (not pictured).
The three prints of Paris caught my eye because everything French seems to be the rage right now. The couple whose estate was being sold were well-traveled and there were lots of scenic postcards. But I had to focus on mainly what I came for - sewing related items, linens, porcelain and things I already collect. Can't afford to start another new collection, LOL!!
I'd like to make a pin cushion in the teacup... I think. I'm really loving that set, so may have to deliberate on that....
And speaking of beautiful, I have to sneak in some recent pictures of my sweet granddaughter London, who will be 8 months old in another week. These pictures were taken in the park a couple weeks ago.
Happy London (no teeth yet)
Serious London (with lovely eyes!)
Grammy's attempt at an artsy picture! :-)
Off to stitch... Have a wonderful day!
Your grand daoughter is so cute! ^___^ And the things you got are just gorgeous - especially those single earings. :D
ReplyDeleteHi, Cathy...Your grandauther is a very beautiful child and getting big.
ReplyDeleteYou done very well,at your week-end Estate Sales. The pieces of jewelry are very nice and you can do a lot with them.
Your Granddaughter London looks like a doll. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteReally like your treasures. I found some really cute tea cups and things this past weekend also. And of course London is the cutest of all.
ReplyDeleteCathy how fast they grow. she will be walking before you know it. I had a nephew who never got a tooth until well over a year. Nothing wrong just slow coming in.
ReplyDeleteYour finds are great and wrapping them around clothespins is a great idea. Couldn't you find little clear paper bags you could just put things in and seal with your own label. I receive them a lot and see them used but don't know where you buy them.
Great buys at your estate sales. They probably beat the flea market if you can find a good one. I don't see many down here.

Meant to tell you that your new header is beautiful. Did the same girl do it? I would like to find someone to help me.
